Abstract

A motor having a lap winding structure and a manufacturing method therefor, wherein inserts of two different coils are installed side by side in one slot of a stator in a circumferential direction of the stator. All the coils are inserted in slots in succession. Further, a stator having semi-closed type slots formed by protuberances oriented in different directions, is used to control a reduction in the magnetic flux at the inlet of a slot and also to prevent coils from coming off. In a motor having coils of a plurality of phases for generating a rotating magnetic field at a stator, the contact portion of the coil of the desired phase among the coils of the plurality of phases and a portion rising from a slot toward the axis of a core are aligned and disposed to have a shape which prevents them from interferring with end portions of the coils of other phases.

Claims

1. A motor having a lap winding structure in which inserts of two different coils are installed side by side in one slot of a stator in a circumferential direction of the stator;

and

wherein said stator has semi-closed type slots, each slot being formed with a single protuberance at its inlet end extending from one side towards a center line thereof, the single protuberance of at least one slot being oriented in a different direction from a single protuberance of at least one other slot.

2. A motor according to claim 1, wherein said coil is shaped to be approximately asymmetric with respect to the centerline of a coil end.

3. A motor having coils of a plurality of phases generating a rotating magnetic field at a stator, wherein an inner side of a contact portion of a coil of a phase among the coils of the plurality of phases, the contact portion being located at the outermost position in a radial direction, is positioned outside slots in which the coils of other phases are inserted, thereby preventing the contact portion from interfering with end portions of coils of other phases.

4. A motor according to claim 3, wherein the motor has a stator composed of three-phase concentric winding;

a coil slot occupancy of 80% or more;

ends of the coils of respective phases have different shapes; and

the contact portions of the coils of the respective phases are arranged in alignment.

7. A motor according to claim 3, wherein the motor has a stator composed of three-phase concentric winding;

a coil slot occupancy of 80% or more;

ends of the coils of respective phases have different shapes; and

the contact portions of the coils of the respective phases are arranged in alignment.

5. A manufacturing method for a stator which includes:

a winding step for forming a coil by aligned winding;

a coil forming step for compression-forming paired coil sides, which are inserted in paired slots, in a coil formed in the winding step, into rectangular shapes to deform a contact portion approximately to an angle at which it is spanned over the paired slots; and

an installing step for positioning the coil, which has been formed in the coil forming step, on the inner periphery of a core and for installing the coil by inserting the paired coil sides of the coil in corresponding slots in sequence.

6. A manufacturing method for a stator which includes:

a winding step for forming a U coil by aligned winding, for forming a V coil by aligned winding, and for forming a W coil by aligned winding;

a coil forming step for compression-forming paired coil sides, which are to be inserted in paired slots, in each of the U coil, the V coil., and the W coil formed in the winding step, into rectangular shapes and for deforming the contact portions thereof approximately to angles at which they are spanned over the paired slots; and

an installing step for positioning each of the U coil, the V coil, and the W coil, which have been formed in the coil forming step, on the inner periphery of a core and for installing the coils by inserting the paired coil sides of each coil in corresponding slots in sequence.
